Thinking of the theater as a place of detention and acting as a state of suspension and irradiation

Abstract

This text presents briefly the Masters’ project Thinking of the theater as a place of detention and acting as a state of suspension and irradiation - A pedagogical-artistic proposal for the actor, based on the dialogue of Michael Chekhov’s practice procedures and on the ethical- esthetic proposal for the Symbolism of Maeterlinck, that aims to propose a possibility of acting’s authorial stage settings. The research projects the elaboration of a methodological procedure, conceived in the sensitive and technical learning in the actor’s training, through practical and concrete tools that expand the skills and abilities of the actor’s body. How can we externalize and show the inner movement of a body? How can we make visible the invisible? How can we make present what’s apparently absent?
